Chapter 578



Lucas broke the silence first. “What do you want to speak with me about?”

Kenia faced Lucas, her voice free of pretense. “I’ve already heard from Belinda about what happened between you two. What I want to say is—it’s impossible for you to get back together with Belinda.”

Lucas’ pupils narrowed suddenly.

“Belinda cannot be with you again. Even if she agreed to be with you impulsively, I would never consent to you two being together,” Kenia declared firmly.

Lucas’ expression changed as he looked down, his tone serious. “Kenia, I know I was a jerk to Belinda before. I didn’t treat her right and often made her sad. I can’t change the past, but from now on, I promise to treat her well.”

“There’s no need for that,” Kenia responded flatly. She then smiled, a hint of sarcasm in her expression. “Belinda doesn’t need you. Moreover, she won’t make the same mistake twice.”

Lucas’ expression soured.

He said, “Kenia, who can really predict what the future holds?”

Kenia remained silent. She understood that matters of the heart were the most unpredictable.

With a serious look, she said, “I only hope you can let Belinda go.”

Ga ln ovels . com fuels your imagination Lucas’ expression shifted once more. The words from Kenia caused his breathing to become heavier. He looked at her intently, his voice sincere. “Kenia, why won’t you believe that I can change? I just want one more chance.”

Kenia stood her ground. “Belinda has been hurt by you too many times. Why should she give you another chance to hurt her? Not to mention, when Belinda was attacked, you had already realized your feelings for her, hadn’t you? But what did that change? You liked her, yet you still left her to see your ex-girlfriend.”

“So, forgive me for being blunt, but your love for her is worth nothing.”

The last sentence stung Lucas sharply. His complexion turned pale, his throat parched. He could not argue because he knew he was at fault in this matter.

Before Lucas could respond, Kenia continued, “It’s hard for Belinda to trust you again after being hurt by you repeatedly. How many chances has Belinda given you? And what was the result? It led to Belinda being disappointed time and time again—more heartbreak and pain! What you can offer her is limited. So, why should I trust you with my precious granddaughter again? Belinda’s heart isn’t invincible; it cannot endure being trampled repeatedly.”

Each of Kenia’s words pierced Lucas’ heart. At that moment, Lucas struggled to describe his turmoil. Guilt, remorse, and pain all surged within him.

After talking with Belinda’s friends and family, he realized the full extent of his misdeeds. Yet, this realization only fueled his resolve to not give up and to treat Belinda better. He was determined to atone for his past errors. He believed only he could mend the scars on Belinda’s heart.

Taking a deep breath, Lucas said, “Kenia, I can’t persuade you, and you can’t change my mind. Words are empty. I’ll prove my sincerity and resolve with my actions.”
